Helioscope plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $159/month | 5 | Entry tier |
| Pro | $259/month | 7 | +$100/month, 5 more features |
| Enterprise | On request | 7 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Helioscope in for solar project design and modeling, rooftop, carport, and ground-mount solar system planning, financial analysis and sales proposal generation for solar installations. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Helioscope are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Energy
Too few energy tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

| Emerson Ovation | On request | quote | - | vs Helioscope |

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Helioscope badges page.
Before you pay for Helioscope
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between $159/month and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Helioscope against the tools that do have one before committing.
Helioscope runs on web, api, and is published by Folsom Labs of San Francisco, CA. The full record is on the Helioscope review, and the rest of the category is under best energy tools.
Helioscope pricing questions
- How much does Helioscope cost?
- Helioscope publishes 3 tiers, from $159/month for Basic up to On request for Enterprise. The cheapest paid tier is $159/month.
- Does Helioscope have a free plan?
- Not on the record we hold: Helioscope is listed as subscription. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.
- What is the difference between Basic and Pro on Helioscope?
- Pro costs $259/month against $159/month, and adds 15% discount for annual billing ($2,640/year), designs up to 5 mw dc, lidar-assisted modeling, ai-based obstruction detection.
- Is the Enterprise plan on Helioscope worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is unlimited users, unlimited projects, custom pricing, designs up to 30 mw dc. It costs On request against $159/month for Basic. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with Helioscope?
- The record lists 22 features across 6 areas: other, integrations, security, deployment, platform, localization. In practice it is brought in for solar project design and modeling, rooftop, carport, and ground-mount solar system planning, financial analysis and sales proposal generation for solar installations.
- Does Helioscope charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Helioscope prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare Helioscope against before paying?
- The closest energy tools in this directory are Emerson Ovation, Novity, Bently Nevada System 1, Cutsforth InsightCM. Each has a side-by-side comparison with Helioscope covering price, platforms and features.
